News conference held, in English and French, by Francis Fox, Minister of Communications, on the new broadcasting strategy for Canada which consists of four policy initiatives and eight policy proposals to strengthen Canadian programming and increase viewing choices. In his opening statement, Fox outlines the new policy for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation focusing on its fundamental objectives. Questions are then fielded in both official languages. Then, as a late arrival, Pierre Juneau, President of the CBC, makes a brief statement, also in French and English, commenting on the new government policy. A second question period then follows during which issues are raised primarily on the economic aspects of this new policy and its impact on affiliated stations, the new CBC presidential and chair appointment, and the possible changes in CBC's programming policy. <1h 38mn>
